Generally, we all type our notes in ALL CAPS in AutoCAD. However, there are times when you have to turn off Caps Lock – for example when sending an e-mail or searching the web. For those times when you go back to your drawing to type notes and forget to turn on your caps lock, there is an easy way to correct the text case without deleting everything and starting over. Highlight the notes you've just typed, right click the highlighted portion, and select Change Case. This works for mtext and dtext, and it saves a lot of time, effort, and head banging.

Notes from Cadalyst Tip Patrol: Good tip. I don’t know how many times I’ve typed an e-mail in all caps, or an mtext note in small caps. Follow the tip if you find you need to change your caps type in a note. Also, you can adjust your mtext settings so that you will always type in all caps in AutoCAD regardless of your keyboard’s caps lock setting. This is a great way to ensure you are always YELLING IN YOUR CAD FILES!
